Fast stereo volume rendering

We present new volume rendering techniques for efficiently generating high-quality stereoscopic images and propose criteria to evaluate stereo volume rendering algorithms. Specifically, we present fast stereo volume ray casting algorithms using segment composition and linearly-interpolated re-projection. A fast stereo shear-warp volume rendering algorithm is also presented and discussed.
